If all is well you will see REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful after each command. Where the path is the same as your working HDD, but partition1 is replaced with partition2, partition3 or as necessary, then attempt: Reagentc /setreimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE The resolution is to point to the new windows RE location using below command: If so, then I believe that windows has disabled the recovery options because it couldn't find the recovery partition.
If you have the same problem as me, then you will see this when you run the same command on the SSD: Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsREīoot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration Running the original HDD you will likely see something like: To check if this is the problem run the command - "reagentc /info" at a command prompt as Admin. I found that it was due to the location of the recovery partition WINRETOOLS had changed due to the reordering. ► If you find that you are unable to boot from Windows Recovery Environment, the following may help. Here is the link to my previous video on cloning ► PLEASE SEE THE PINNED COMMENT for more tips from viewers. Please check to see if you have bitlocker encryption turned on for your system! Macrium Reflect has documented the process of cloning volumes encrypted with Microsoft BitLocker encryption here:
I don't want you to be stuck without Windows in case something goes wrong. Since I'll be showing you how to completely erase the contents of the hard drive, MAKE SURE to take every precaution before cloning, including 1) backing up any critical data, 2) creating a rescue disk and 3) creating an image of the original 1 TB drive.
At a high level, you need to make sure that your PC or laptop has a way to change the boot sequence to the SSD drive.
I start with an out-of-the-box Dell Inspiron 5570 laptop in which I've already installed a brand new 360 GB M.2 SSD module.ĭisclaimer: This video was created specifically with the Dell Inspiron 5570 in mind, so this procedure may not work for all computers. I answer some frequently asked questions that arose from my previous video including showing the size of the rescue disk contents, and the procedure for going from a smaller hard drive to a larger SSD. This is an update to a two-year old video (link below), in which I not only clone all six partitions, but I also complete the process of wiping the hard drive. In this video, I use the most recent version of Macrium Reflect Free to clone Windows from a 1 TB hard drive to a 360 GB M.2 SSD, and keep it bootable.
